For a girl who's interested in fashion, what would be the dream job? Being a model? Probably no — that's for a pencil thin who doesn't eat. One answer is, fashion stylist.

As more brands open stores in China to expand their reach, the increase in outdoor advertising might light a stylist spark in a girl's heart. Fashion magazine offices are crowded with interns (實習生), and fashionable brand HR managers get thousands of resumes of people looking for a stylist position.

"It looked too high before, but now I find it more approachable," said Xue Rui, 22, a Fudan University Chinese literature graduate who works as an assistant stylist at Hermès in Shanghai. "There is no certain principle in dressing up models, and you can try every way with your own distinct taste to make them pretty and attractive."

The attractiveness of this line of work is not only in the fabulous clothes. And it's not like it used to be: an insider's job with little recognition and even less money. Now it's a career with a profile, prospects and pay packet.

Girls can find it hard to ignore this tempt and the field is opening up to normal girls, not only style or fashion design majors. "A fashion designer knows how to make a dress pretty, but a stylist knows how to make a person beautiful, from head to toe," explained He Qing, 21, a junior in fashion design at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology.

"You have to be 'all-round': from hair and make up to clothes, shoes, and accessories(配飾) to the event," said He. "You have to know everything, and handle several things at the same time. It's challenging. That's why I love it."

It's not, however, without its downside, no matter how great you may think it is, "It's incredibly hard work," said Chen Qianzhu, a stylist at the Chinese version of Elle magazine. "You need to build good relations with various people — stars, photographers, PR managers, other media, even airlines."

You need to take care of clothes in the workplace and pay for even a tiny spot you get on them, Chen said. "The worst thing is that you might work extremely hard for a week on some serious photos, but if the chief's not satisfied, you do them all over again."

1. A fashion stylist has to do the following EXCEPT _______.

A. make every effort to dress up models

B. make a model attractive, from hair to feet

C. pay for a tiny stain happening to the clothes

D. not to eat and keep a thin figure like a pencil

2. Xue Rui, He Qing and Chen Qianzhu are mentioned in the passage in order to ______.

A. show the strengths and weaknesses of the new type of career

B. compare the different changes about the occupation

C. make the article interesting and convincing

D. support an idea by giving enough evidence

3. The underlined world 'all-round' in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by ______.

A. all-star     B. all-out        C. all-powerful      D. all-purpose

4. Where can the passage be found?

A. In a newspaper.              B. In a magazine.

C. In an advertisement.           D. In an essay written by a graduate.

Every year some 15,000 animals - mostly mice - are

shipped into the UK for research．Some leading scientists are

warning that pressure from animal rights activists is reducing the

number of animals being brought into Britain for research．All

ferry companies and all but two airlines have stopped importing

animals intended for research laboratories．

Lord Drayson, who was a minister under the last Labour government, said animal research was "regrettably" necessary and that people would "suffer and die" without it．"If we do want to have access to medicines, and I believe that we do - in a survey carried out in the past 10 years more than 87% of the general public have said that they support animal research for medical uses．And so unfortunately we do have to do this．"

However, Alistair Currie from People, for the Ethical Treatment of Animals （PETA） said researchers should work harder to come up with alternatives to animal testing．"More man 90% of drugs that pass trials in animals fail when they're given to people," he said．They either prove to be unsafe or simply ineffective．"

The BBC's Tom Fielden says animal rights campaigners have been imprisoned for taking direct action against laboratories in the past and more recently have focused on creating bad PR （public relations）．He says this has included letter-writhing and web-based campaigns against transport companies, which appear to have had an effect．

But the scientists who depend on the animals for their work have now decided to speak out to try to persuade the government and the transpon companies to stand up to the campaigners．Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, a geneticist at me National Institute for Medical Research （NIMR）, told the BBC it was important that scientists were able to import animals, so they could work together with colleagues abroad. Dominic Wells of the Royal Veterinary College （RVC） said, "The problem is that they can't be put in a suitable transport．"

63．Now animal rights campaigners are trying to affect importing animals by _______．

       A．finding alternatives to animal testing         B．creating bad public relations

       C．taking direct action against labs           D．stopping transport animals to UK

64．According to Lord Drayson, importing animals is ________．

       A．optional                                         B．necessary

       C．unreasonable                                   D．unconditional

65．Who is against importing animals for research?

       A．Alistair Currie form PETA．                B．Tom Fielden from the BBC．

       C．Robin Lovell-Badge from the NIMR．       D．Dominic Wells from the RVC．

66．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

       A．Activists stopping direct action against imports

       B．Importing animals contributing to medicine

       C．Activists' pressure slowing animal imports

       D．No animal imports, no medical research

Her opponent was the defending champion whose childhood dream was to win the French Open. She was the underdog who never saw the tournament on TV as a girl in China and never thought she’d get far on the red clay of the French Open, one of the four tennis Grand Slams (大滿貫).

But it was Li Na who fell on her back in triumph(勝利) on June 4. Nearly two hours’ hitting gave Li a 2-0 victory over Francesca Schiavone of Italy and made her the only tennis player, man or woman, from Asia to take home a Grand Slam title.

Chinese media have been swept along by the praise. An editorial carried by Xinhua News Agency said “Li Na is the best PR (Public Relations) for China,” and called her an “outstanding name card for the country” and a “brilliant diplomat”. It compared Li to Chinese NBA star Yao Ming, noting that both “can speak very fluent English, and both of them have a kind of sense of humor that is appreciated by foreigners”.

Success has come late for Li. She once gave up tennis for two years and studied journalism at Wuhan’s Huazhong University of Science and Technology. But in 2004, she returned and continues to play the best tennis she could.

“Dream comes true,” Li said after the match. “I am so happy that my efforts have paid off.” Li has often been seen as a rebel(叛逆者), or at least a representative of a new generation. She has a tattoo(紋身), has dyed her hair many different colors and has even been known to yell at her husband in public. “The plain-speaking, tattooed, individualist has the ability to transcend the sport and become a global star”, the BBC news reported.

No matter how important the French Open championship is, Li is not resting on her laurels(桂冠) — she’s already thinking about winning a second major title. “When you have the first one, naturally you will think about the second one. Now I have more confidence playing on other surfaces,” Li told China Daily, as she prepares for the Wimbledon Championship, which will start on June 20.

55. Which year did Li Na begin to study journalism?

A. In 2004.                      B. In 2002.               C. In 2006.              D. In 2000.

56. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. Li Na’s childhood dream was to win the French Open

B. compared to Yao Ming, Li Na speak more fluent English

C. the BBC reported that she has a tattoo, has dyed her hair and yelled at her husband in public

D. Francesca Schiavone was given a 2-0 failure in the Open championship after nearly two hours’ hitting

57. According to the passage, we can know that ______.

A. after the Open championship, Li Na would become normal but not a rebel

B. Li Na can stand for China and become a brilliant diplomat

C. Li Na is full of confidence to get a second major title

D. Li Na would pay more attention to her own personality and wouldn’t yell at her husband
